According to the report from football-espana, Girona have finished the first half of the season level on points with Real Madrid, following an historic first victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night, gifted to them Ivan Martin’s stoppage time winner. It may well have put Los Rojiblancos out of the title race, leaving them ten points behind, but Girona manager Michel Sanchez brushed off talk that they could compete for the title.InformationGuideNigeria
“It is an historic day for us, the city and the province. Very satisfied. We had a spectacular first half, but the 3-2 score put us out of joint a bit. In the second half it was clear that Atlético was going to turn the score around, but the changes gave us energy. In the last 20-25 minutes, either team could have done damage and Iván’s goal was a great goal,” he told Diario AS.JAMB Result

With Barcelona also ten points behind, pending their match against Las Palmas, there are no footballing reasons to suggest that Girona are not Real Madrid at the time of writing. Els Blanc-i-Vermells are the top scorers in the division, and have shown some amount of the resilience to come from behind and win on seven occasions this season. Naturally, Michel will want to keep expectations and pressure in check, and logic would suggest that Los Blancos will run out winners ahead of Girona, but there may be more than a few fans dreaming.
